Hello everyone! My name is Sarahi Martorell Crespo and I’m a 4/c cadet. I’m the only international from Latin America (Honduras) in my class. In total, there are four internationals in the Class of 2019 and we all get along well. Being away from home made Swab Summer very difficult, but not impossible. The academic year is going great and it’s good to know we are almost halfway to the end of the semester. I was assigned to Echo Company; we have really good people you can always talk to if you are having a bad day. They sometimes make your day better just by saying “hi.”

I am very glad to represent my country and, not only that, but I also have a sister here. My sister’s name is Irene and she is an upper-class (3/c); if you want to know more about her and what she is doing, check her blog! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I’m excited to be part of this program and to keep you guys updated! So, just like we say here, “Have a great Coast Guard day!”
